    A lot of Protestant Brits, in Britain, actually sympathise with the Irish Catholics, it doesn't get mentioned much. The whole thing is a stubborn mess there.

    Overall, the military activism of the Ottoman Empire on the southern European front probably was the reason why Lutheranism was able to survive in spite of the opposition of Charles V and reach recognition at the Peace of Augsburg in September 1555:[9] "the consolidation, expansion and legitimization of Lutheranism in Germany by 1555 should be attributed to Ottoman imperialism more than to any other single factor"
    It's a pity that Tuan is banned, would be funny to see him reconcile his pro-heretic point of view with his rampant Islamophobia.

    On the broader subject of Catholicism, at least Protestants got more in touch with the actual religion than spending all their time filling their Churches with the wealth of people better than them.

    As regards to Northern Ireland...well it's been a trouble spot for a while. Catholics feeling alienated is not desirable but not surprising as well, although i might have expected it more the other way around.

    Sounds interesting, but unless it is about the accumulated wealth of the Church i do not see the direct relevance?

    In my opinion Christianity should focus on the religious element. Charity work is the main thing i respect about religious institutions, in regards to their role outside of their core roles, and surely hoarding wealth (signficantly beyond the neccesary) is not central to Christianity?
    I think that institutions should focus on what they do more than how shiny they look.
